Charging the Battery
Before you can use the battery to power the computer, you must
charge it. Connect the computer to an AC power outlet using the
AC adapter and power cable. The DC-IN LED will light and the
Battery LED will light blue and blinking.
Once the computer is connected to a power outlet, you can charge
the battery with the computer turned off or on. When the computer
is turned off, the battery charges in about 3.0 hours.
NOTE: When the computer is turned on and is not con-
suming full power (under 18W), the battery charges in
about 3.5 to 8 hours.
CAUTION: Once the battery is charged for the first time,
avoid leaving the computer plugged in and turned off
for more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to charge
a fully charged battery may impact the battery.
